§ SIR ROBERT HOBART (Hampshire, New Forest)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the dearth of Militia officers, he will consider the advisability of their travelling expenses to and from their homes, when beyond the confines of the county, to the place of joining being paid.
§ * THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. HALDANE,) HaddingtonshireA considerable sum of money would be involved by the grant of this concession, and I am afraid that at the present time no funds are available for the purpose.
